Jayzo Posted June 10, 2008 Share Posted June 10, 2008 :D Thanks for posting, great news for people who missed out last time. (Although it looks for UK people only, as they may ring you up. :thinking: Oh well I'll still try) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bonus_mosher Posted June 10, 2008 Share Posted June 10, 2008 Thanks Mich! :nice: I asked them one! :D:D:D:D:D I said: "Not many bands stay together as long as you have while maintaining their huge popularity, I would love to know what keeps you all motivated to keep making music to the high standard that you do? I just heard the new album, it's going to be a classic!" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

melanieau Posted June 10, 2008 Share Posted June 10, 2008 I'm thinking she'll not ask that one...but it would be great if SOMEONE would answer it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mc_squared Posted June 10, 2008 Share Posted June 10, 2008 I'm thinking she'll not ask that one...but it would be great if SOMEONE would answer it I agree, along with explaining why there are no standing sections on the UK tour, why there was no official pre-sale, why all the best seats were sold to personal callers at the venues where touts could get hold of them easily, and why Ticketmaster then put more tickets on sale yesterday without any prior notification.;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mimixxx Posted June 10, 2008 Author Share Posted June 10, 2008 Oh can we please not get into another no standing debate, apart from anything else this is questions for Coldplay and I don't think they actually have anything to do with the seating arrangements at their gigs. They didn't even know their album was coming out on a Thursday, nevermind anything else. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mc_squared Posted June 10, 2008 Share Posted June 10, 2008 ^True, and as I've said before I'm pretty sure the band themselves are in no way to blame for any of this. However, I still think somebody should come forward and answer these questions, as they are legitimate concerns that a lot of people have. It isn't good that everyone's being ignored.;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mimixxx Posted June 10, 2008 Author Share Posted June 10, 2008 Fair enough. Then ask the question and see what happens :) Maybe they won't have the answers themselves but may be alerted to fan concerns. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Magnus Posted June 10, 2008 Share Posted June 10, 2008 I agree, along with explaining why there are no standing sections on the UK tour, why there was no official pre-sale, why all the best seats were sold to personal callers at the venues where touts could get hold of them easily, and why Ticketmaster then put more tickets on sale yesterday without any prior notification.;) Oh c'mon, don't complain, look at it this way: atleast you've got a tour, and there will be concerts around the uk, which is more than I can say for Croatia.

mc_squared Posted June 10, 2008 Share Posted June 10, 2008 Fair enough. Then ask the question and see what happens :) Maybe they won't have the answers themselves but may be alerted to fan concerns. Of course I would never contemplate bothering the band themselves with these questions as they aren't involved with tour organisation per se. Maybe if I can find out who the tour manager is, I can send him or her an email. That isn't a bad idea. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unfortunately it would be impossible for them to visit every country where there are fans. I sometimes have to fly to the UK myself to see bands that never tour Germany (e.g. Level 42 in October). I don't have a problem with that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, I know that, I'd really like to see them live but, since their USA tour is during summer, that's pretty far for me to go, heh. They're touring Italy, and going to Budapest even, which is probably the closest here, but I won't be able to go because my school starts exactly when their Europe tour starts: September 1st. There's still a hope they'll be doing another tour sometime, but that's not my point, the point is, be happy with what you've got :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
melanieau Posted June 10, 2008 Share Posted June 10, 2008 I did ask Jo a question about the US tour...like you said Mich, maybe it'll get asked and even though the boys can't do anything about it they have people who can... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ms Magpie Posted June 10, 2008 Share Posted June 10, 2008 I am with Magnus on this one ... But I know what you're saying, Mark. The problem is that the same countries are ignored everytime a band tours, no matter how big and popular it is. And I'm not speaking solely about Coldplay here. But Magnus - you will get a chance to see Bob Dylan for example - nothing like that would happen in Slovenia. ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
